Off-road vehicles need to be able to withstand rugged trails and challenging terrain, with good suspension and the right tyres to manage lumps and bumps on the journey. The Maserati Levante shines as the best off-road vehicle produced by Maserati, fitted with the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyres for all-season performance and durability.
Maserati is a premium car brand that recommends the very best tyres. Tyre brands like Pirelli and Michelin often come up as the ideal option for Maserati drivers – with top models including the Continental SportContact 5 tyres, the Pirelli P Zero sports tyres, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. While brand is important when it comes to quality and price, it is crucial that tyres are the right tyre size and are chosen with the climate in mind. Maserati’s MGT recommended tyres list includes all-season tyres, winter tyres, and summer tyres that are fit for all terrains – managing the needs of drivers all over the world.
The correct tyre size for your Maserati will be listed in the vehicle handbook and can also be found printed on the sidewall of existing or old tyres.
MGT is a marking that you will find on all original tyres that are fitted to a Maserati vehicle. They specify that the tyre has been selected by the car brand as suitable for the vehicle, enhancing performance and safety on the road.
The MGT stands for Maserati Genuine Tyre and lets the driver know that every feature of the tyre is compatible with the vehicle and its racing standards.
All tyres fall under the same legal standards when it comes to tyre tread, damage, and tyre pressure. Regular inspections can be carried out by drivers to check the tread on their tyres, ensuring it is deep enough to ensure good traction and grip, and meets the minimum of 1.6mm as required by law and the annual MOT check.
In addition to tread, it’s important to check sidewalls for any damage, and ensure that the tyre pressure is suitable for the weight of the vehicle and passenger load. Finally, ensure that tyres are suitable for the terrain and weather conditions, for safety and comfort.
